What ages can participate in workshops?

I can deliver and cater workshops for all ages. In general the majority of my workshops are aimed at adults but can be adapted for children ensuring a fun, safe and creative experience for everyone.

Do I need prior crafting experience?

No prior experience is necessary! My workshops cater to all skill levels, making them perfect for beginners. However if you have craft experience you are more than welcome and will enjoy expressing your creativity working with books.

What materials do you provide for the workshops?

I supply all necessary materials, including recycled books and craft items, so you can focus on creating. I will also provide refreshments for workshops taking place at Retro from Scratch HQ.

Which areas do you cover?

I provide workshops for small groups at my home, RM3 8HF

Or I can come to you. I will cover the most of Essex within a 1 hour drive. But there may be a small additional charge for areas over 30 minutes away which we can discuss.
